Perhaps "obligated" is the wrong word, but even simply choosing to ignore something IS a reaction, as long as you're actively choosing to do so. Besides, reacting to opinions with agreement, dissent or neutrality is... Well, discourse. There's nothing inherently wrong with it until you...

"Tuck tuck tuck" is even better, especially when you're running over trees in your haste to CRUSH EVERYTHING. To the topic, I'd say RTS games, but I'm not really that bad at them, just sorta average at them. I guess I'd have to say something like Minecraft; not that I die a lot or find it...

I had the same experience with Fallout 3 a few years ago, but I never got back into it after quitting like an hour in. For the general question, I generally try to at least the finish the games I buy (sometimes unsuccessfully), but it's becoming rarer and rarer for me to make an actual...

The TL;DR version is that I don't believe there is necessarily a division between what is a game and what isn't (which is what the thread was discussing at the time), and more that we don't have a real way to differentiate between people who play games solely as a distraction or time-killer (I...

I consider myself a "gamer" despite some of my misgivings with the unspecific nature of the term, and posted some of my thoughts on the issue on the last page in what I thought was a reasonable, level-headed and non-inflammatory way, and got completely ignored for it. So does that mean I need to...

It seems like it's a problem moreso with the terminology than whether or not Farmville-type games are "real games." The term "gamer" for most of its life has had an "enthusiast" implication that doesn't really apply any more. Nowadays, "gamer" simply means "one who plays games" and has largely...

I'd to get them to talk to me about whatever it is, but it they refused it would hurt for a long time. I've done this to people before and it was always for an incredibly stupid, petty and selfish reason, and now I regret being that way. I've irreparably damaged some friendships that I've...

Maybe they thought Dragon was too powerful? I think one of the main reasons for the addition of Dark and Steel type in 2nd gen was how powerful Psychic was, so both of the new types resisted it (and Dark super effective against it). If Fairy is immune to Dragon maybe it's supposed to be a check...

One-off surprise Draco Meteor against a physical wall? I dunno, that's a puzzler. In any case, Smogon's tier system is probably the best for deciding what is and isn't allowed for battles between friends. From both perspectives; it's not all that fun to get stomped, but neither is it...

As far as Skyrim goes, I'd wager the main reason you don't see spears/pikes/halberds is the terrain; Skyrim isn't exactly great for cavalry maneuvers, with most of it being mountainous or forested. It's not great land for horses in large formations, though as beasts of burden and a means of...

Not as much. Sandstorms and snowstorms don't increase damage for any moves (except Blizzard, which just gets more accurate). Rain's boosting of Water moves and doubled speed for Swift Swimmers means you're essentially getting a few free boosting moves. Stack on a offensive berry or some other...

I completed all the side quests up until I reached the "Toil and Trouble" story mission; what percent would you call that? 75% seemed like a reasonable number but honestly I can't say that I know with any level of certainty. And yeah, side quests and exploration are huge parts of the game...

My Steam in-game time clocked at 42 hours for my first run-through of the game, start to finish, with plenty of dying (due to my own personal retardation), random exploring and probably 75% of the side-quests completed. If you cut out the non-essentials (like most of the side quests and...

My birthday is around Thanksgiving every year, so instead of birthday cake, I get pumpkin pie. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

First mistake was comparing an FPSRPG to a straight-up FPS. I agree with the guy that posted a few pages back about the most apt comparison being between Borderlands 2 and Borderlands, not between Borderlands 2 and anything CoD or Halo-related. Not everyone likes Borderlands' visual...
